Cup Stacking

So you know the cup stacking thing? You know, this one?

Well, we have been playing a variation  of that around our house, except it takes two players.

Heather or I frantically stack Hannah’s stacking cups, and she flails her her little arms and laughs manically. Well, maybe not manically, but it makes better word picture that way right? 🙂 Whatever the case it’s actually a lot of fun, I just haven’t fully adjusted to the fact that games don’t end on my time anymore.

Hannah has been quite the hand full over the past month. I think she has cut two or three teeth and gone into a weird drama phase over the past week. We don’t really know what the story is there, but as Heather always says “kids are a mystery”

It’s possible she is picking up on how stressed Heather and I are… it’s been a crazy, crazy month (more on that in a future post!) but I didn’t think we were that obvious about it. I suppose a meaningful percentage of her intuition is tuned to perceiving everything she can about mom and dad right now, so I might be selling her short.

Oh, and we took a trip out to Colorado for a few days, dropping her off in Nebraska with my parents. It was a great trip, and she apparently had lots of fun with Grandma and Grandpa, but I suppose a few days away from home plus 14 total hours in the car could, perhaps have contributed to her unrest 🙂

Speaking of that car ride, I don’t know how you are suppose to handle hour six of seven, but Hannah and I used an apple and a hat:

It seems to have worked ok… she looked better in the hat than I did.

Document Security

I shredded some documents tonight, as one should when the contain personal and or financial information.

It did occur to me however, that I could probably get sufficiently good security simply by placing the documents in a bag with a few cups of water and placing them in the dumpster tonight. The combination of -10 temperature and a 20 mile and hour would, I am certain, work to both transform the documents into a form that could not be readily used, and to deter snoopers prior to their being covered in other garbage.

So, I guess what I am saying is that I should really be using this latest cold front to my advantage! Think of all the wear and tear I could save on the shredder!
